Having problems with your Akai DC6371 Digital Camera ?

Akai DS8341 Can you use an a/c adaptor to charge to battery through the usb cable? If so, each time I hit the power button the camera flicks on and then shuts right back off?

Answers :

Call 800-726-4405

YOU SHOULD CHECK THE ADAPTER AND THE CAMERA, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CHARGE SOLEMLY WITH A COMPUTER OR A AC TO USB ADAPTER...THIS IS TO PREVENT YOUR CAMERA FROM RECIEVING TOO MUCH POWER TO WHERE IT CAN BURN

My Kodak V1233, isn't working right. If I turn it on, it will only turn on a second and extend the lense and then shuts off (it's fully charged). I can eventually get to take pictures, if I start by hitting the favorite button, and then the camcorder button and then quickly hitting the the camera button. I can take pictures, but can't see them, I only see a black screen. The camera will not power off this way. If I take the battery out, and then put it back in, and hit the favorite button,

Canon SD4000 camera, when hitting the power button, the screen remains black screen, the green light blinks twice, lens zooms out, shutter opens. Screen remains black, and I do not seem to have any control at all; pressing the zoom button doesn't move lens, no notable reaction to anything. Hit the power button again, the lens zooms back into it's original position, shutter closes (occasionally does not shut completely), green light blinks twice, screen remains black.

Batteries are fully charged. I can turn my camera on and look through my pictures, go through all the menus, etc., but as soon as I hit the button to take a picture, the camera just shuts off. I can immediately turn the camera back on, but it makes a strange clicking sound before it turns on. My lens is stuck out because even if I turn the camera on and turn it right back off manually, the lens does not retract. The camera was purchased in winter of '08 and I've had no problems whatsoever with i

Remington Ghost Digital Game Scouting Camera, Does Not power up, when you hit the power button it powers up but when you take your finger off of the button it shuts back off.

Camera shuts down after shutter button is pressed. It shuts down halfway through the shutter operation.
Everything else works fine-reviewing pictures, settings in menu, focusing, exposure settings etc.
The camera focuses ok when the shutter button is half pressed then when you press the shutter button fully, the mirror goes up, shutter appears to open then the camera shuts down with no power.
Only way to get mirror etc back to normal is to remove the battery and refit. When camera is turned b

Last time I tried to turn on my camera (Samsung SL502) the lens came out but the screen didn't come on. I hit the power button again and nothing happened, now the lens is extended and won't go back in...pressing the power button does nothing but the camera makes a funny sound. Please help. Camera is 6 months old.

When I power up the camera the lens opens and immediately retracts and the camera shuts off. I've attempted to push every button while turning on the camera to no avail. I also held onto the lens when it opened. Though the lens remained extended, the camera powered off. When I turned it back on the lens retracted and the camera powered off.

EX-S880 Shutdown I have a problem with my camera where it will automatically shut down as soon as I push the shutter button. The on/off button will not turn the camera on, but it will turn it off. I can turn it on by pressing the play or record button. I can also record with it as well. I just cannot take snapshots--it powers down right away. Anyone else have this problem? I've only had the camera for about a week.

First off make sure that the battery when charging is a solid red light and NOT flashing. If it's flashing that means we have a problem with the battery. Make sure you are only using a Toshiba, Panasonic or Sandisc memory card that is n ...

Green light on camera back to the right of the 'delete' button continually flashes on-off about 1 second intervals as soon as battery is inserted as long as CF card is in place. Switching camera ON produces no visible operational indicators. Depressing "Menu" button flashes: hour glass; menu display; blank screen. Holding button down just cycles as above. Swapped lens, data card, battery, connected EH-5 power source; nothing makes any difference. Checked same lens in another D70 camera; it's OK.

I would start by looking into the memory card slot to see if you have a bent pin. You may need a small light and a magnifying glass to see them. If the pins are okay, then you can try a reset by holding down the BKT and metering buttons toget ...

When I press the power button, it clicks twice and then it beeps three times. Can you help me with this, when I bought the camera, there was no warranty offered.

Hi all, I have an Olympus FE-300 camera. We have had a battery issue ever since we first got it about 2 years ago. Most of the time, when we first hit the power button, the camera doesn't power up. I then pop the battery open and pop it back in and it seems to work. Then after closing it again, it seems to malfunction again. Sometimes it shows a freshly charged battery in the "red". I have bought a replacement battery, but it seems to be same exact result. This is so frustrating, I have f
